Taj Mahal: pictures to follow!

Ania: Well, we made it out of Delhi successfully, and the train journey was fine (although trying to get the tickets yesterday was a pain). Chai wallahs and chaat wallahs were coming up and down the aisles selling tea and snacks, and it was shabby but comfy. We arrived in Agra this morning, and pootled about in an autorickshaw for most of the day, seeing the various sights and looking at local handicrafts. Then this afternoon we saw the Taj Mahal, which was every bit as awe-inspiring as you would expect. It's huge - bigger than I'd imagined - and intricately decorated. We're on a rubbish internet connection here so we can't upload photos right now, but we will as soon as we can!

Stu: Oh and thanks for all your comments guys! Keep 'em coming, it's really nice to hear from home!
